    Are you saying their argument is counterintuitive to the definition of reckless, or mine?  Because the statute doesn't go so far as to say that. And in fact, the statute expressly says that proving someone did something intentionally counts as proving they did it recklessly if that's what the offense requires.

    I’m with you. Their argument seems counterintuitive to me.

    1) is it reasonable that this was her reality?

    2) the "discharging a firearm immediately without ascertaining the nature of the target" part can still be reckless even in your own apartment.

    I think what these legal experts (and Texas law) are saying is that the act of intentionally firing a weapon at another person cannot, by definition, be reckless, regardless of the circumstances or who you believed you were shooting. Seems counterintuitive to the definition of reckless.
